APR describes the gains for this tune as wheel-horsepower gains. Total output and maximum gain are separate figures; maximum gain is not the difference between the two peak horsepower ratings.
Results vary with fuel quality, vehicle condition, hardware and test conditions. Use the fuel required by the installed APR calibration; verify the exact ECU application before installation.

We're excited to announce our Engine Control Unit (ECU) Upgrades are now available for the Porsche 718 Cayman/Spyder (982) GT4 4.0L engine with the Bosch MG1 ECU!

Our new suite of software comes after months of extensive research and development that is typically absent from the aftermarket. Our upgrade makes the engine more powerful and more exciting. We've extensively calibrated the system to work flawlessly on the track, while retaining safety routines to protect your engine in the most demanding scenarios. This was all made possible by our engineering team's pursuit of perfection. Development vehicles were outfitted with additional sensors, including thermocouples, transducers, and more, along with our high speed direct RAM logging equipment, to feed valuable data to the team for analysis. After exhausting of hours of testing and tuning we created new calibrations that are fine tuned for several octanes and contain hundreds of map changes, with a vast array of safety features built in.
